Why the R3 Update Matters 

Finalized in January 2025, the ICH GCP E6 R3 guideline introduces critical revisions in areas such as principles and scope, responsibilities, data governance, and clinical trial setup. The European Medicines Agency (EMA) has announced that ICH GCP E6 R3 will be adopted on July 23, 2025, with ICH GCP E6 R2 remaining in effect until July 22, 2025.
